“…Give consideration to the selection issues of preference functions in the proposed T‐SF REGIME mechanism. The Gaussian preference function was commonly exploited by planners or analysts because the severity of the preference led by such a function slowly increases from 0 to 1; moreover, it is frequently utilized as a priority function by decision makers in realistic applications 58–60 . Taking that into account, the dominance of distinguishing two choice options in conjunction with a specific criterion can be represented by the Gaussian preference function in this study.…”

In an uncertain context of T‐spherical fuzzy (T‐SF) sets, the purpose of this study is to propound an efficacious multiple criteria choice model, named a T‐SF REGIME method, predicated on a dominance analysis and a prioritization analysis. The REGIME methodology is a well‐founded evaluation technique suitable for multiple criteria choice analysis owing to it has good applicability to the processing of qualitative information and to complex scenarios. Unlike the existing REGIME techniques, this paper takes advantage of a new Minkowski‐type distance measure and an evolved Gaussian preference function to propound a ground‐breaking T‐SF REGIME model. This paper first concentrates on an evolution of the Minkowski‐type distance measure and explores special cases with relevant properties for functional use. Next, this paper concerns an ascertainment of the evolved Gaussian preference function as a part of the proposed T‐SF REGIME mechanism. This paper focuses on an advancement of the REGIME structure to T‐SF uncertain contexts and unfolds an inventive T‐SF REGIME methodology by virtue of superiority identifiers/indices, guide identifiers/indices, and joint generalized indices. The usefulness and strength points of the advanced methodology are scrutinized through a realistic application in the field of solar plant to prioritize the options of photovoltaic cells. The application results and comparisons corroborate the high efficiency and strengths of the evolved methodology.

“…Besides, the aridity of a region aggravates human condition by endangering the food resources, natural ecosystem, and health. Hence, for the sake of the next Hekimoğlu et al, 2021). Water consumption of a region includes the used water for any type of production and its direct use as freshwater.…”

“…This study aims to deal with Istanbul's water management issue, a metropolitan city with a high population growth pace. Istanbul faced water-related threats during its history (Savun-Hekimoğlu et al, 2021;Van Leeuwen & Sjerps, 2016). The most recent drought in 2020 that the city experienced caused an extreme shrinkage in its reservoirs, falling to almost only 20% of their capacity (Yılmaz et al, 2020).…”

Water is the source of life for our planet, guided the ancient civilizations, and formed its current footprint on the earth. Water has always been a crucial element of our biological survival; consequently, humankind has permanently settled around it while carrying the responsibility of protecting it. To understand the water pattern in various cities throughout history and analyze how the emerging problems were overcome, Istanbul Technical University Landscape Architecture Department Graduate Level Design Studio was held under the theme of "Around Water". Despite the adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on education, international researchers contribute to the studio in a beneficial and diversified manner with the effective use of online tools. As a result of the literature review and the online, multidisciplinary education, and research-based design requirements, a new studio method was developed. Water-based case studies worldwide produced enriched outputs. While creating new discussion environments, the diversified outcomes of the studio "Around Water" contributed to the creation of cumulative studio knowledge.

“…More recently, artificial intelligence can be used for predictions. This approach might be adopted together with more established methodologies such as Multi Criteria Decision Methods, in order to assign more precise weights to every criteria at issue ( Savun-Hekimoğlu et al, 2021 ). ( Li et al, 2019 ) combine the expert opinion with trend analysis approach for forecasting the trend of a technology.…”
